  Why mention a hypothetical when we have real-world cases? http://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/local/update-illicit-litecoin-mining-discovered-at-mu-s-reynolds-journalism/article_f154ec40-760b-58cc-9d20-f29f33af6b9f.html http://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/local/update-illicit-... > COLUMBIA — Two MU students have been accused of running an unauthorized Litecoin mining operation on computers in the Reynolds Journalism Institute. MU Police Capt. Brian Weimer said that Eric Wichmann and Josh O'Steen were arrested by MU police Dec. 6 on suspicion of tampering with computer data. Weimer said they were arrested on suspicion of a misdemeanor violation of the state tampering statute, though tampering can also be a class D felony. Wichmann, an Internet technology major, and O'Steen, a computer science major, went to the police station voluntarily and were released the same day on a summons, the two students said.

    The point is that bringing your own mining rig to steal electricity is not that much better.

    How profitable is Litecoin mining? I'm curious how much $$$ these kids blew up their future for.
